The Story Behind the Windshields

Hello there,

Thanks for visiting my site!

I'm James, a metalworker by trade from Sheffield.

Over the past few years, the Cadac cookers have been my go-to choice for cooking outdoors. In my opinion, they are unmatched when it comes to price and how good they are.

On many occasions, though, I've found the Cadacs to be heavily affected by wind, causing slower cooking times and increased gas consumption.

Using the machines at work, I started designing and making a windshield for my own Cadac. A few iterations later, I decided I'd give it a go selling them!

Introducing the Vento Windshield! The windshield is designed to work with all Cadac BBQ models, including other similar free-standing BBQ brands.

I'm currently making the first batch, which is expected to finish by the end of this month (July) to the start of next. There's an email sign-up below to get notified when the first batch is ready.

Thank you for the support, and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

Cheers,
James

Aluminium Windshield for All Cadac 2 Cook & 3 Cook BBQ Models

£24.94
Royal Mail Tracked 48®
  • Wind Protection

    The windshields keep the flame stable and boil times fast, even in windy conditions. With regular use, they also help significantly reduce gas consumption over time.

  • Suitable for All Connection Types

    The windshield features a large cut-out to accommodate all common gas connections, including right-angle regulators, rigid (fixed) hose fittings, and quick-release couplings.

  • Designed for the Cadac BBQs

    I've designed the windshield to accommodate the full Cadac range, including the 2 Cook, 2 Cook Deluxe, 2 Cook Turbo Deluxe, 2 Cook 2 Pro, 2 Cook 2 Pro Deluxe, 2 Cook 2 Pro Deluxe QR, 2 Cook 3 Classic, 2 Cook 3 Pro, 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe, 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe QR, and Portable models.

  • Hanging Utensils

    I have also designed the windshields to hold a range of utensils, keeping them off the table and out of the way during cooking. Each side can hold up to 6 utensils. Please note, the utensil cut-outs are designed to hang over the side of the table. If your table or stand is the same width as the cooker, only one side can be used to hang utensils.

  • Other BBQs

    While made for the Cadac range, the windshield suits most BBQs with a flat base and a folding lid that doesn't need rear wind protection. It stays upright using the BBQ's own weight, so doesn't require any custom parts.

  • Easily Cleaned

    The windshields are made from a single piece of brushed aluminium. There are no awkward angles or gaps, making them easy to clean.

  • The Materials

    Aluminium provides excellent natural resistance to corrosion and oxidation while keeping the overall weight low.

  • The Manufacturing

    Each windshield is laser-cut and precision-bent from sheet aluminium. The parts are then deburred to remove any sharp edges, brushed for a textured finish, and anodised to protect against oxidation and corrosion for long-term outdoor use.

  • Disclaimers

    This product is designed, developed, and manufactured by Vento. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cadac, or any other BBQ brand.

  • Contains Spitting Oil and Fats

    The windshields also help contain spitting oil and fats, keeping the surrounding cooking area clean. After cooking, the one-piece design makes the windshields quick and easy to clean and degrease.

  • Easily Packed Away

    After use, the windshields fit inside the carry bags. We’ve tested this with all Cadac 2 Cook models. They also help protect the edges of the BBQ from any accidental knocks or drops.

The Windshields in Action

Close-up of materials and manufacturing

Built to Last

The windshields are made from 1.1mm thick 5052-H32 aluminium. They can comfortably hold the weight of multiple utensils and are resistant to impact damage. They won't snap, bend, or chip if accidentally dropped. The aluminium will develop a slight patina from heat with extensive use, but this doesn't affect its structural properties. It is also immune to water damage and rust.

Designed with Purpose

I designed the windshields to be as lightweight as possible. Aluminium by nature is very lightweight, with the windshields weighing only 485 grams. The windshields are also small enough to fit inside the supplied Cadac carrying bags. There are no folds or hinges, making for easy assembly and cleaning. Small cut-outs along the top of the windshields also provide a storage space for utensils, keeping them off the table and out of the way.
